🔥Climate change may unravel plant–#hummingbird interactions in the #AtlanticForest.

🌺Niche models predict fewer links and lower #network robustness, increasing vulnerability to cascading effects and threatening #ecosystem stability.

Impact of Climate Change on the Multiple Facets of Forest Bird Diversity in a Biodiversity Hotspot Within the Atlantic Forest Aim Climate change is driving species to either shift their ranges or face extinction. While its effects on taxonomic diversity (TD) are relatively well understood, the impacts on functional diversi...

#ClimateChange is pushing #AtlanticForest #birds to the brink 📉

This new research from Brazil 🇧🇷 shows relying only on species counts isn’t enough.

Protection must extend to Functional and Phylogenetic diversity too

How drones and AI are protecting the Brazilian rainforest | CNN Brazil’s tropical forests are under pressure. Startup re.green won for the Earthshot Prize for its efforts to restore them.

🇧🇷 The Brazilian startup #re.green is using AI, drones and satellite data to restore lost sections of the #AtlanticForest and #Amazon 🌳, turning #conservation into a viable business that helps local communities while tackling #deforestation and #ClimateChange 💡🌎.

🌳 Fascinating insights from JEcology & @treeco-db.bsky.social ! Their #AtlanticForest study challenges classical #TropicalForest succession ideas, revealing distinct secondary communities and blurred trait links. Dive into the thread below 🧵
